The 33rd NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!

Haiphong or Bust

[/size]

This scenario is based upon an incident described in the book, Blind Man's Bluff, by Sontag and Drew.

"Submarine spying had received a boost in Kissinger's and Nixon's eyes in mid-1972, when U.S. surveillance subs detected one of the rare overt Soviet moves to intervene in the Vietnam War.  Shortly after Nixon announced the mining of Haiphong Harbour, the Soviet Navy sent three Echo II subs toward Vietnam.  After they were detected by U.S. subs, Washington sent a message to Moscow, essentially saying, send them back home or they're history.  The subs left."

The 37th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!

06.0 Sitting Duck Station

[/size]

Sea of Dragons Battleset - Korean Standoff

A period of rising tension, sparked by the U.S. announcement for withdrawal of the 2nd Division, has characterized relations between North and South Korea.  Border incursions by North Korean special forces have increased and several acts of terrorism, carried out in strategic cities (e.g. the destruction of Pusan's main railway signaling centre), have been identified as occurring under North Korean instructions.  The rhetoric issuing from both governments has become increasingly bellicose.  In order to show commitment, the U.S. has moved the 7th Fleet to the East China Sea and has sent across both ground reinforcements and munitions.  Although a number of U.N. resolutions have been passed, condemning the belligerent moves, only the U.K. and the Australians offer more than vocal support.  A U.K. Marine Commando is flown to Twenty-Nine Palms and two frigates sent from the Gulf.  Australia offers a battalion of troops, a DDG, and two frigates.

1.0 SitRep:

The pride of the fleet, the Kilo-class submarine Dear Leader, has been given orders to deploy from the Yellow Sea.  Any target deemed valuable enough is to be sunk without question.  Enemy warships are a priority, especially those believed to be engaged in the anti-ballistic missile mission.

The commander could not believe his luck when he got a strong ESM 'cut' on an AEgis radar.

2.0 Test of Nerves

[/size]

"With the continuing escalation of skirmishing in the Baltic between Russia and Germany, tensions were rising worldwide.  As long as the conflict remained in the Baltic, most other nations were willing to wait and watch.  Once events turned against the Russians, reinforcements were brought in from the Russian Northern Fleet.  This altered the situation and the NATO allies were compelled to assist the Germans, as required by the Treaty."

The 43rd NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!

24.6 Trade Barrier [USN] [H3.6]

[/size]

It did not take long for the full import of the U.S. withdrawal from the Philippines to become apparent.  U.S. presence declined in the South China Sea and this allowed other navies greater freedom.  The PLA(Navy), under strict orders from Beijing, stepped up its patrols around the Spratley archipelago.  The Vietnamese and the Philippines vigorously protested this action, but not much was done to help them.  By 1998, the Chinese felt confident enough to make a determined push for the whole of the island chain.  By controlling the Spratleys, the PLA(Navy) would be in position to threaten busy shipping routes; the forces assigned there would also cover the Chinese invasion of the Philippines.  Once the Philippines had fallen, no one would be able to oust the Chinese from their sea.

Much was carried out to ensure the smooth running of the initial stages of the operation.  Vietnam was bribed into hamstringing the ASEAN response and the Philippine communist insurgency was expanded and financed by the PRC.  Chinese Special Forces were clandestinely inserted to advise the guerrillas.  All that was needed was a spark.

[MarkShot]

Could we get a scenario "Saving Player MarkShot"?

Brief: the Taiwanese Progressive Party has soundly defeated the Nationalists-KMT Party. Finally, the rhetoric goes too far. The President declares independence and states that Taiwan never was or will be a province of China. The PRC threatens invasion in 4 weeks if the Taipei government is not recalled. Air and missile skirmishes begin over the Taiwan Strait. President Hillary Clinton sends in the 6th Fleet and the Marines to evacuate American nationals; among them one Player MarkShot.

[Herman Hum]

By the time she gets to be President, will there still BE a Sixth Fleet?

[Herman Hum]

Also, isn't 6th Fleet assigned to Europe?  7th Fleet is foward-deployed to Japan. ;)

[MarkShot]

It will be hard to land Marines from a rubber duck!

Anyway I will forgo my social security, Medicare, police, and fire protection so that we can keep our aircraft carriers and the divide between haves and have nots can make French Revolution look like a comic romp!

PS: I'll delete this post if it makes your Harpoon thread too controversial, since I know how the Harpoon Community values harmony above all else.

[Herman Hum]

I beg to differ; I think Harpoon values its bugs above all else.

[MarkShot]

How true. It is not perfection which defines us, but instead our imperfections.

The 45th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!

Warhead

[/size]

The three most powerful men in the world are:

The President of the United States,
the Premier of the Soviet Union, and
the Captain of a ballistic missile submarine.

The Blue Crew of the SSBN Michigan won the annual Fleet Achievement Award.  As a reward, the Navy paid for their family members to join them in Scotland.  The homeward flight was hijacked enroute and diverted to Beida, Libya.

A Marine Expeditionary Unit - Special Operations Capable - and elements of Detachment Delta is sitting offshore awaiting permission to enter Libya in order to liberate the aircraft and occupants.  Meanwhile, negotiations continue and hostages are being shot every six hours.

After the third hostage was murdered, an uncoded message was transmitted from the Michigan and recorded by several international agencies.

"To the President of the United States

Believing the Soviet demand that negotiations at Beida be conducted only by a United Nations team to be an inhuman and criminal political manoeuvre precluding swift and safe release of our families, we, the majority of the officers and crew of the USS Michigan do hereby serve warning upon the Soviet Union.  Unless our families are released unharmed by 2400GMT 7 August, we will launch a Trident missile.

Mike Dawson, Commanding"

This scenario was inspired by the F. Robert Baker novel, "Warhead", Bantam Books, 1981.
